I use nginx/0.6.32 from the Debian/testing repository, which might be not the best choice. For example the mime.types file was missing.
I am trying to get nginx as a frontend for apache working. I am not sure, but do those rules need the gzip_static module:
# if the requested file exists, return it immediately
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
set $supercache_file '';
set $supercache_uri $request_uri;
if ($request_method = POST) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}
# Using pretty permalinks, so bypass the cache for any query string
if ($query_string) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}
if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_" ) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}
# if we haven't bypassed the cache, specify our supercache file
if ($supercache_uri ~ ^(.+)$) {
set $supercache_file /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html;
}
# only rewrite to the supercache file if it actually exists
if (-f $document_root$supercache_file) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $supercache_file break;
}
# all other requests go to Wordpress
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite . /index.php last;
}
When deleting those line in my default config, nginx and apache work very well. But with those lines i am permanent redirected to Wordpress' s main index.php.
Thus i had the idea that i need the gzip_static module, but the nginx fetched from the Debian/testing repository seems not to be compiled with gzip_static:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
Restarting nginx: 2009/01/25 10:39:00 [emerg] 6672#0: unknown directive "gzip_static" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:23
Is that true? Or doesn' t gzip_static doesn' t exist any more what i can' t read here http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpGzipStaticModule.
